All four rows stay PARTIAL; twin-prime\ninfinitude remains OPEN; no exponent moves. This audit changes **verdict text only**, and only\nwhere a served document already states the replacement verbatim, so that no new claim is\nintroduced. It is the second half of job #609 (the sweep report is the first).\n\n## Scope\n\n`GET /projects/twin-primes/questions` served 217 questions, 53 open or partial; the sweep covers\nrows 38–52 of that list (see `rows38-52.md`). All fifteen rows are faithful copies of their own\nledger blocks (REG 15/15 current), but **five are stale in their sources**. This audit corrects\nthe four whose served source supplies the repaired wording:\n\n| row | id | what changes |\n|---|---|---|\n| 38 | `Q-rec-cheapest-0830` | the ledger's comparator \"251 against z^{u0} = 1.05e6\" and the 16s/9 threshold, per RIDER 2026-08-30 |\n| 39 | `Q-recon-0904-sifting-limit-floor` | the \"METHOD ARTEFACT … about 18 per cent … passed, 0 of 15\" headline, per RIDER 2026-09-04 |\n| 47 | `Q-xchannel-closedform` | the unqualified \"@31 = 4.93 sigma\" reading, per the accepted audit #85's `also_fix` |\n| 48 | `Q-xchannel-offset` | \"the deciding blind test at @37 is pre-registered and committed alone\", per `Q-xchan-at37-score` (ANSWERED) |\n\n**Row 40 `Q-rho-maximal-law` is deliberately NOT patched.** No text in it is wrong: the defect is\nthat the generator's \"last note in path order\" rule displays the older of two same-id notes\n(`rho-maximal-law.md`, 2026-08-18/19/20) and hides the later `rho-exact-z31-01.md` (2026-08-28).\nA hand edit to that row would be reverted by the next regeneration; the fix belongs in\n`research/qc/questions.js` (pick the newest note, or emit `MIXED` when same-id verdicts disagree),\nwhich is what #149 proposed and no one has implemented. Reported here, not patched.\n\n## The patch\n\n`questions-rows38-52.patch` — a unified diff against `research/QUESTIONS.md`, **8 changed lines**\n(four verdicts × the two places each row appears: section 1 and section 2). Every replacement is\nthe superseding source's own wording:\n\n* **Row 38.** Keeps the ledger's structure and inserts the rider's two facts: the growth\n  hypothesis **s ≤ 3**, and that the former comparator **1.05e6 is HM(u₀), not z^{u₀} = 7.188e7\n  at z = 73**, so the gap is 68.3× larger than the ledger said. The 8.86e17 / 1.2e6 figures are\n  untouched (not refuted).\n* **Row 39.** Records the rider's ruling as the rider states it — \"REFUTED as stated … on four\n  grounds\" — and carries its two corrections: **22.3 per cent**, not 18, and the refused external\n  test (a legal profile at x = 13 reads **5.0113**, above β₂, firing the note's own\n  pre-registered refutation). The band sentence is unchanged.\n* **Row 47.** Applies accepted audit #85's `also_fix`: the verdict now says the @31 figure is\n  quoted at the run's own σ_J and that the note's §7 calls it inherited, records the calibrated\n  reading **z = −2.32** (inside the pre-registration's own HIT band, so \"one detection at 4.93\n  sigma\" is zero detections), and names the adjacent row that quotes the other pair.\n* **Row 48.** Replaces the pre-@37 clause with the @37 outcome: `Q-xchan-at37-score` (ANSWERED,\n  2026-08-21) measured 1 − J = 0.020823, all seven candidates died at |z| = 104–122 with an EMPTY\n  survivor set and a 13.4·S₃ shortfall, and the finite-level-correction family is CLOSED as the\n  offset's description — this row's own 4S₂ − S₃ candidate with it. The @37 note's proposed\n  item-X update is quoted as \"report only, not applied\".\n\n**It applies cleanly and is exactly what a regeneration produces for these rows** (the corrected\nverdicts are the notes' text, so a regenerated index agrees with the patch).

Four of the five stale rows are\nstale in their notes, so a regeneration after any unrelated ledger edit restores the old text\nunless the notes are corrected too. In the pattern #132 used for row 42 — the note's ledger plus a\ndated status rider — the source corrections are:\n\n* `attack-0830-rec-cheapest.md` — ledger clause per its own RIDER 2026-08-30 (row 38).\n* `recon-0904-sifting-limit-floor.md` — ledger headline per its own RIDER 2026-09-04 (row 39).\n* `xchan-at29.md` — ledger verdict per accepted audit #85's `also_fix` (row 47).\n* `item-x-offset.md` — final clause per `xchan-at37-score.md` §5, whose proposed update is\n  already written there (row 48).\n\nI have not drafted those four note patches: #85's `also_fix` is already the drafted wording for\nrow 47, and #132 (accepted, pending integration) is the working pattern for the rest.\n\n## Falsifiers\n\n* **Row 38** is corrected wrongly if the 2026-08-30 rider's \"68.3× larger\" is itself wrong, i.e.\n  if some other note defines the ledger's 1.05e6 as z^{u₀} rather than HM(u₀). The rider names\n  `redteam-0830-floor-sign.md` as its source; I read the rider, not that note.\n* **Row 39** is corrected wrongly if the \"0 of 15\" external test did pass and the rider misread\n  it. #121 (recorded) independently refuses the 18 % figure and leaves the test unscored; it does\n  not settle the rider's stronger claim.\n* **Row 47** is corrected wrongly if the calibrated slot-clustered σ is the wrong model — which is\n  the open question the correction makes explicit rather than hides.\n* **Row 48** is corrected wrongly if `xchan-at37-score.md`'s @37 census is later refuted; it is\n  ANSWERED and independently recounted (`research/xchan-at37-02-verify.js`), so the clause is\n  stale under any reading of its body.\n\n## Sources\n\n* `research/QUESTIONS.md` served, sha256 (LF) `e2ddcfc55f89…`; corrected sha256 (LF)\n  `e32ce3725dab…`. `research/history/staging/attack-0830-rec-cheapest.md` (RIDERs 2026-08-30,\n  2026-09-04); `recon-0904-sifting-limit-floor.md` (RIDER 2026-09-04); `xchan-at29.md`;\n  `item-x-offset.md`; `xchan-at37-score.md` sha256 `3252f9611a27ce27…` §5.\n* Returns cited: #54, #84, #85 (review #34), #121, #130, #131, #132, #149, #205.\n\n## Files\n\n| file | what it is |\n|---|---|\n| `questions-rows38-52.patch` | the four-row correction, LF, `-p1` |\n| `QUESTIONS.corrected.md` | the applied result (sha256(LF) `e32ce372…`) |\n| `mkpatch3852.py` | builds it; asserts each old string occurs exactly twice and the line count is preserved |\n| `registry-check.py`, `registry-check-38-52.out` | the REG test that shows the index is faithful — i.e. that the fix belongs upstream |\n| `rows38-52.md` | the fifteen-row table with all citations |\n\n\nThe explore return for job #609 carries the sweep table, the REG run, the sources and this job's transcript.
